Maintenance And Repair

New customer demands and increased legislation drive business-oriented companies into new business models focusing on the entire life cycle of the product. This forces the manufacturing companies into service-oriented solutions as a compliment to the original business areas. Takata [1] postulates that “the goal is no longer to produce products in an efficient way, but rather to provide the functions needed by society while minimizing material and energy consumption”. This new situation affects the product requirements as well as product development process (PD). When focusing on the entire product life cycle, product aspects such as maintenance and repair will receive more attention since the companies will be responsible for them. In the product development process of today, especially in the automotive industry, maintenance and repair aspects (repair and maintenance methods and manuals, for example) are currently taken care of when the product is more or less fully developed. Maintenance and repair requirements are difficult to quantify in terms of core product properties (for vehicles, cost, CO2 emissions, weight, and so on). This leads to difficulties in equally considering maintenance and repair requirements while balancing vast amounts of product requirements. This paper focuses on a comparison and discussion of existing design guidelines affecting the structure and organization of parts in an assembled consumer product, such as Design for Assembly (DFA), Design for Maintenance (DFMa), Design for Service (DFS) and Design for Disassembly (DFD) methods. A tool for evaluation and analyzing product architecture as well as assemblability and maintainability is proposed.

O objetivo deste trabalho é realizar um mapeamento e classificação da literatura, bem como uma análise bibliométrica sobre os conceitos Product Life Cycle Management (PLM), Product Development Process(PDP), Environmental Sustainability (ES) e suas interfaces. As publicações de interesse foram localizadas por meio de consultas na base de dados de periódicos da ISI Web of Knowledge, por meio do portal da CAPES, considerando publicações entre 2006 e 2010. Os resultados indicam que os trabalhos são publicados em uma gama variada de periódicos e congressos e que a maioria das publicações analisadas utiliza como abordagem metodológica o estudo de caso, mas também existe uma grande proporção de trabalhos teórico-conceituais. Quanto à natureza dos dados verificou-se que a abordagem qualitativa tem sido mais adotada e é praticamente predominante a condução de estudos descritivos. Em síntese, os trabalhos analisados incorporam o conceito de sustentabilidade ambiental e PLM no PDP e são mais aplicados em empresas, cadeia de suprimentos e desenvolvimento de software. De modo geral, os trabalhos analisados enfatizam a melhoria da gestão do PDP, o aumento do desempenho e a integração de informações de diferentes áreas e sistemas. A literatura converge para a inserção dos conceitos de sustentabilidade ambiental e PLM nas atuais práticas do PDP.

The Impact

Product development is important more than ever for manufacturing firms. A well-designed performance measurement system can assess the impact of product development on the whole company. Such a system can also be utilized for motivating employees, especially product development staff. Naturally, a set of suitable product development measures can provide valuable information for managing the activities and continuous improvement of the product development process. In this paper, via our literature review, we first establish that “a suitable set of performance measures” to assess product development performance is not readily available. Then, we identified performance criteria for assessing product development process effectiveness based on competitive priorities (cost, quality, flexibility, delivery and innovation) followed by ANP analysis. Finally, using a two tier survey setting, the validity and reliability of the criteria set were ascertained, and field data for its (performance measure set) usage as an assessment tool for product development is demonstrated. The field study was conducted by participation of a sample of manufacturing companies in Turkey.

concurrent engineering product development from the beginning of the design requirements, it must consider the various factors in the product life cycle, to shorten product development cycle, improve product quality, reduce the green characteristics of product cost, product realization, enhancing the competition ability of the enterprise purpose. Because in the whole process of product lifecycle highly concurrent engineering station, effect that participants work together, reconstruction of product development process and using advanced design methods, contributes to the technical information, economic information, environmental information, energy and resource information and insurance information of organic integration of each stage in the life cycle of product green design, the realization of green products from a life-cycle perspective. Therefore, the concurrent engineering is the core of the design and development of green products.

This paper analyses the relationships between the Project Management Offices (PMOs) functions and the results of performance indicators of product development projects, considering the triple constraint: time, cost, quality. A survey was conducted on a sample of 35 Brazilian manufacturing companies, which have a Product Development Process and a support of PMO for product projects. Although the survey´s results pointed out the presence of Project Management Offices on companies’ structure, it does not guarantee the success on project´s triple constraints, the benefits management was a PMO function correlated to cost performance. It suggests that if a company structure projects as programs, an effort to guarantee the focus on benefits rather than only on project’s results can drive good performance on costs.
